Bought this van nearly seven years ago with about 50,000 miles on it. It now has 166,000. Other than regular wear items (tires, brakes, struts etc.) the distributor was replaced around 100,000 and the exhaust manifold bolts on the firewall side were replaced shortly before that. It's an outstanding van. I would buy one again given the chance.
Want to get another before they're gone!

We're very happy with this "Just Right" size mini-van. It's been nothing but reliable. Engine runs very smooth, slightly under powered. Handles great in snow and ice.

I had purchased this vehicle 2 years old and have been pleased with the outcome. Minor problems include rear wiper never works, the hinge to open and close the window on sliding door the pin keeps coming out, had to have oxygen sensor replaced. I am currently having problems with the electric door locks. They like to lock and unlock unexpectedly. It can be a challenge to unlock the door and try to open the door before the locks lock again. Middle seat is not easily removed. I find the vehicle easy to manuever. Overall I am happy with the vehicle. I would purchase another.

The Villager has been fault free since purchase. I have replaced the shocks and struts. The strut mounts and some of the rubber components on the front end needed replacement. This is the only work I have had done over its life. The repair shop claimed he does a lot of Nissan suspensions of this vintage. The body & interior integrity are superb after this time and miles.
Great van!

1996 Mercury Villager Nautica 3dr Minivan
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
Leased our '96 Nautica '95 for 2 years and then bought it. It has been the best designed car we have ever owned. My husband has a 2008 Highlander, which he is very happy with, yet, it cannot haul as much cargo, is not as versatile, nor as comfortable for 7 people as the Villager. MPG in new cars has barely improved over the Villager after 14 years. But after 150,000 miles, the transmission is going out and other expensive things (locks, CD player, possibly air bags-- since light goes on)I hate to see it go. Wish they would still make it with the quality they made it then (plus a second slide door not yet available in 1996). Nautica drives like a luxury sedan with a height that is safer.
